About the Business

Ernst Financial Solutions is a financial coaching and speaking practice that helps individuals, couples, and small business owners create clear plans for their finances and long-term goals.

Owner Jesse Ernst specializes in biblically based, goal-oriented financial coaching, working with clients to develop practical systems for budgeting, debt payoff, and financial decision-making. His coaching emphasizes not just financial strategy, but also the habits, mindset, and behaviors that lead to lasting financial change.

Using principles from Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, Jesse helps clients build personalized plans designed to eliminate debt, improve financial discipline, and move toward long-term goals. Clients work through structured coaching sessions and practical tools that help them track spending, stay accountable, and build sustainable financial habits.

In addition to coaching individuals and families, Jesse also works with entrepreneurs and small business owners who want help organizing financial priorities and building more intentional plans for growth.

The Story Behind the Business

The foundation for Ernst Financial Solutions began with Jesse’s own financial journey.

For more than a decade, Jesse and his wife have followed the financial principles taught through Financial Peace University. By consistently applying those systems, they were able to eliminate debt, cash-flow major purchases like vehicles, start two businesses, travel to more than ten countries across four continents, and ultimately pay off their home in their 30s.

As friends and colleagues began asking how they had achieved those results, Jesse found himself regularly walking others through the same process — helping them create budgets, develop debt payoff plans, and build financial discipline.

Those conversations eventually led him to formalize the coaching work and launch Ernst Financial Solutions, turning those lessons into a structured coaching practice designed to help others achieve similar outcomes.

Community, Coaching & Speaking

Mount Dora is home for Jesse and his family, and building the business locally was a natural choice.

“This is home for us,” Jesse says. “We love our community and don’t see moving anywhere else anytime soon.”

Through the Mount Dora Area Chamber of Commerce, Jesse has been able to connect with other local business owners and introduce more people in the community to financial coaching as a resource.

In addition to one-on-one coaching, Jesse is also an active motivational speaker, presenting workshops and talks at churches, schools, businesses, and community organizations. His presentations focus on financial stewardship, leadership, and intentional goal-setting, helping audiences understand how everyday financial habits shape long-term outcomes.

Another unique aspect of his practice is that Jesse works with clients in both English and Spanish, allowing him to support a broader range of individuals and families.

What Clients Are Saying

Many of Jesse’s clients describe the coaching process as both practical and transformational. Testimonials frequently highlight the clarity and accountability that structured financial coaching provides.

Several couples note that the process helped them align their financial goals and work together on budgeting and debt payoff. Others share that the coaching helped them move from feeling overwhelmed by their finances to having a clear plan and measurable progress toward their goals.

What’s Next

Looking ahead, Jesse plans to continue expanding both his financial coaching services and his speaking engagements.

By combining personal coaching with workshops and presentations, he hopes to reach more individuals, families, and entrepreneurs who want to build healthier financial habits and create intentional plans for their future.
